Deck belt installation
NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt,
refer to the routing decal on the front edge of
the deck.
• Wrap the deck belt around the electric clutch
that is located on the engine shaft.
• Push the rest of the belt through the IZT
(Integrated Zeroturn Transaxle) support
and up onto the deck.
• Starting on the right hand side of the
deck, wrap the belt around the large right
side idler, right cutter housing pulley,
small center idler, center pulley, left side
pulley and then around the large left side
idler.
• The belt will be loose at this point.
• Using a ratchet with a 9/16" socket,
rotate the spring idler bolt
counterclockwise to bring tension to the
belt.
• After installation is complete check the
belt for twists.
